Coffee Filter Turkeys {Kid Craft}

We have been on a “turkey” crafting kick lately on Glued To My Crafts and we are continuing on with the “gobble gobble” theme of Thanksgiving, with our Coffee Filter Turkeystutorial. This kid friendly craft is super easy to make and of course – the supplies are inexpensive too {we are talking cents!!!}

Our turkeys got a tye-dye look for their feathers, which makes it fun to hang on a window and see the colors brighten up with the sun. If you are looking for something for your child to do this afternoon {and bust that boredom bubble} THIS craft is a must do.

Read the full tutorial below for the how-to and get to work! Your kid is going to love this! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

* First have your child color their coffee filter however they like. Keep in mind, dark colors will overpower light colors when sprayed down, so try to use those sparingly.
* Once they are done with their design, place the coffee filter in the center of a paper plate or some paper towels. Lightly spray the coffee filter down with some water and watch the colors start to bleed out. Once done, let it dry completely.
* While that is drying – cut out the other turkey features from your cardstock. {body, nose etc} Remember to draw some eyes with a black marker.
* To finish off the Coffee Filter Turkey craft, glue the cardstock turkey piece to the coffee filter. Then display proudly!

I have a few more Thanksgiving themed kid crafts coming up – but tomorrow I’m breaking into some Christmas ornament crafts by participating in another blog hop. Be sure to check back tomorrow for that! #gluedtomycrafts
